Dotonbori

Dotonbori, one of the most popular areas in Namba, Osaka, is often referred to as the "heart of Osaka." Its iconic landmark that everyone must visit for a photo is the Glico Running Man Sign. To truly capture the essence, strike the signature pose with both arms raised, mimicking the sign.

The Dotonbori street runs alongside a canal, offering a vibrant mix of dining, shopping, and photo opportunities all in one place.

How to get there:
From Umeda Station (M16), take the Midosuji Line subway to Namba Station (M20), which is close to the Glico Sign. Alternatively, you can get off at Shinsaibashi Station (M19) and walk a short distance.
